8 APPENDIX. Format of the Final ATTACHMENTS. FOREWORD. Historical background Standards and Recommended Practices for Aircraft Accident Inquiries were first adopted by the Council on 11 April 1951. pursuant to Article 37 of the Convention on International civil aviation (Chicago, 1944) and were designated as Annex 13 to the Convention . The Standards and Recommended Practices were based on recommendations of the Accident Investigation Division at its First Session in February 1946 which were further developed at the Second Session of the Division in February 1947.

9 The Fourteenth Session of the Assembly (Rome, August September 1962) considered the subject of Aircraft Accident investigation and adopted Resolutions A14-22 and A14-27, Appendix P.* The first of these: 1) directed the Council to: a) study the possibility of initiating a uniform procedure to be used by States to make available promptly the reports of Aircraft Accident investigations and inquiries, particularly when related to large modern transport Aircraft , so that the dissemination of such reports by all Contracting States may be improved;. b) study whether it is practicable to establish procedures by which the State of Manufacture or the State that first certificated the Aircraft type, would, in appropriate cases and upon invitation, make available competent experts for advice or consultation in the investigation of accidents, and in the light of the results of such study.

10 I) determine the most practicable means of ensuring that the fullest possible advantage will be taken of the specialized knowledge of such experts and notify all Contracting States accordingly, and ii) urge all Contracting States to cooperate in the use of such experts so as to contribute to the safety of air navigation; . and 2) urged all Contracting States to provide timely notification of Aircraft accidents, especially those involving large modern transport Aircraft , to the State of Manufacture or the State that first certificated the Aircraft type, whenever it is considered that such action would be appropriate.
